'''Astigmatism''' is a really annoying eye condition that means you have blur in a specific direction, or [[axis]] (technically, depending on the notation used for your prescription, the axis may indicate the angle of the eye's meridian where you have no astigmatism, and need no extra lens power, or the one where you have the most and need the most extra lens power). Astigmatism is compensated with [[cylinder]] lenses. A cylinder lens adds power along one particular meridian of the eye.


Astigmatism often reduces spontaneously as myopia is corrected.
